LEON Casino Cookie Policy for Australian Players

This page sets out, in plain language, which cookies LEON Casino uses in Australia, what each one actually does and how you can change your mind at any point. Nothing here is hidden behind legal phrasing: if a cookie tracks something, it is named and explained.

What a cookie actually is

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. It holds a short identifier rather than your name or your card details. When you come back, the browser hands that identifier over and the site recognises the session — which is how you stay logged in between pages, how your language and odds format survive a refresh, and how an unfinished deposit form is still there after you switch tabs.

Cookies cannot read other files on your device and they cannot run programs. What they can do is record behaviour on this site, which is exactly why the non-essential ones are opt-in.

The four categories we use

Every cookie set through LEON Casino falls into one of four groups, and the group decides whether your consent is needed.

• Strictly necessary. Session identity, login state, the contents of your bet slip, fraud checks and load balancing. Without these the account simply does not work, so they are set as soon as you open the site and cannot be switched off from inside the site.
• Performance and analytics. Aggregated measurement: which pages are opened, how long a page takes to render, where a deposit form is abandoned. These are read as counts, not as profiles, and they are what tell us a payment step is broken before support tickets do.
• Functionality. Preferences you have already expressed — currency shown in AUD, odds format, the games you last opened, whether the lobby is in list or grid view. Turning these off does not break the site, it just makes it forget you.
• Advertising and targeting. Used to limit how often a promotion is shown to the same person and to measure whether a campaign led to a registration. These are the ones people usually mean when they ask about tracking, and they are consent-based: they are not set until you agree, and they stop being set the moment you withdraw that agreement.

How long cookies stay on your device

Session cookies are deleted the moment you close the browser. They cover the login state and anything else that should not survive you walking away from a shared computer.

Persistent cookies survive the browser closing and expire on a date set when they are created. A preference cookie may last a year because a preference that resets every week is useless; an analytics cookie usually expires much sooner. Expiry is set per cookie, not per category, so two cookies in the same group can have very different lifespans.

Consent and turning the non-essential ones off

Advertising and targeting cookies require your consent before they are placed, and that consent is not permanent. You can withdraw it at any time from the cookie preferences panel, and the change applies to future page loads immediately — you do not need to close your account or contact anyone.

Performance and functionality cookies can be declined in the same panel. Strictly necessary cookies are the exception, because refusing them means refusing the session that keeps you logged in.

Cookies set by third parties

Some cookies on this site are not set by us. Game studios load their titles inside the lobby and set their own cookies to keep a round of play consistent, to remember sound and quality settings, and to prevent a session being replayed. Analytics providers set their own measurement cookies. Payment providers set cookies during a deposit to detect fraud.

These are necessary for the relevant part of the site to function at all: a game that cannot keep its own session cannot be played. What is shared with these parties is limited to what the service needs to operate, within a verified partner network. We do not sell cookie data, and we do not pass it to unrelated third parties for their own purposes.

Before you block everything

Blocking all cookies, including the strictly necessary ones, is your right and the browser will let you do it. It is worth knowing what happens next: you will be logged out and unable to log back in, an unfinished deposit will not complete, bet slips will empty on navigation, and any limit or self-exclusion setting that relies on session identity will not display correctly.

If your goal is to stop tracking rather than to break the site, decline the advertising and analytics categories in the preferences panel instead. That achieves the same thing without disabling the account.

Managing cookies in your browser

Every major browser also lets you clear or block cookies at the device level. The current paths are:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies, and Settings → Privacy and security → Delete browsing data to clear what is already stored.
• Safari (macOS): Safari → Settings → Privacy, where you can block all cookies or use Manage Website Data to remove them for a single site. On iOS: Settings → Apps → Safari → Block All Cookies.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection for the blocking level, and Cookies and Site Data → Manage Data for individual sites.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Menu wording shifts between browser versions. If a path does not match what you see, the setting is almost always filed under privacy or site permissions.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the updated version is published here with a new effective date at the top of the page. Where a change materially affects what is collected or who receives it, a notice is shown the next time you log in, rather than left for you to notice on your own.

Questions about cookies or your data

Questions about a specific cookie, a preference that will not save, or a request to see what is held about you can go to the support team through live chat or email on the official LEON Casino website. Support is available 24 hours a day, and data questions are passed to the privacy team where they need a written answer.
